Grenfell Support News

Remembering
Grenfell
one year on

Following the Silent Walk from Maxilla
Social Club on Thursday evening, the
community gathered in Kensington
Memorial Park (St Mark's Park) to break
fast and mark Iftar. Also that evening there
were special prayers and remembrance at
Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre.

Over the last week, the local community has
come together and organised a number of
events and activities to commemorate one
year since the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

In this edition of Grenfell Support News, we
feature some of the events which remember
those who lost their lives and who are
affected by the Grenfell tragedy. The events
also highlight the community's strength and
courage at this most difficult time.

On Sunday 10 June, St Clement's Church

hosted the unveiling of St Clement's
Garden of Peace and Healing.

The unveiling marked the beginning of the
anniversary events programme to
commemorate the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

The first phase of the Grenfell Memorial
Mosaic was unveiled at the base of Grenfell

Tower on the anniversary of the tragedy on
Thursday 14 June at an event attended by
the bereaved, survivors, local residents and
well-wishers. The Mosaic Programme is
being delivered by the ACAVA Flourish
Programme in partnership with
Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage
Centre and will be completed over the
next 12 months.

A 72-second silence was also observed at
various events to mark the anniversary as
well as across the nation.

Also on Thursday, St Helen's Church
hosted an anniversary memorial service,

featuring a range of moving hymns, prayers
and readings. The releasing of white doves
was followed by a procession from St
Helen's Church to the base of Grenfell Tower.

There are several events yet to be held
including the Grenfell Unity Fun Day
which will take place in Kensington
Memorial Park on Saturday 16 June from
12 noon to 6pm. Running in parallel to this,
also from 12 noon to 6pm, will be
Community together for Grenfell in
Avondale Park, Walmer Road.
